Summary
[edit]DescriptionArtist’s impression of the magnetar in the star cluster Westerlund 1.jpg |
English: This artist’s impression shows the magnetar CXOU J164710.2-455216 in the very rich and young star cluster Westerlund 1. This remarkable cluster contains hundreds of very massive stars, some shining with a brilliance of almost one million suns. European astronomers have for the first time demonstrated that this magnetar — an unusual type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field — probably was formed as part of a binary star system. The discovery of the magnetar’s former companion elsewhere in the cluster helps solve the mystery of how a star that started off so massive could become a magnetar, rather than collapse into a black hole. |
